This is the cook’s time of year -the holiday season; the time when we pull out all the stops in our culinary repertoires. This is when cooks everywhere extend themselves to create the most spectacular and succulent savories and sweets that they can possibly turn out of their kitchen. It is time to ‘wow’ your…

Hey! We have a giveaway this week. Details are after the recipe. Stick with me, it’s worthwhile and will make your upcoming holiday baking projects sing! We are currently in Week Three of a full-immersion ‘get-to-know-influenza’ unit study of our homeschool. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. We like to space things out…

Hi friends! The last few weeks have been maddeningly busy. We’ve done a lot of work on our house and property, camped, traveled, been visited, and had animal crises. I hope I have a chance in the next couple of weeks to settle back into a regular blogging routine. With all the fresh produce hitting…

Ah! The Thursday before a three-day weekend is a special kind of Thursday, isn’t it? It’s a luxurious feeling Thursday. Despite the rain-that-never-ends, I have an extra dose of patience (snort) and an extra measure of indulgence. And to celebrate the indulgent feeling, I whipped up a fancy-pants lunch for myself. I made a gorgeous…

I know most of us have had/heard of/eaten our weight in G.O.R.P., but when was the last time you thought about it? Or ate it? Or made your own? Forget back-to-nature, let’s start a back-to-G.O.R.P. movement. Let me enummerate the reasons why… Gorp. Super fast to make and makes you super fast. Or at least…

We’ve been spring cleaning like crazy around here lately. It’s so invigorating to be able to open the windows after having them firmly shut since November. And even though I hate doing laundry, there is something incredibly peaceful about hanging the first couple loads of clothes and sheets and towels on the line. Everything is…

I was intrigued by a couple of pretty frittatas baked in bundt pans that I saw in the blogosphere over the last couple weeks (here and here, for example…) I love frittatas, and yes, they are a seriously fast food to throw together. But here’s where my usual problem comes into play. Inevitably, as I’m at…

Oh mercy. The Honyaks, The Evil Genius and I are all so sugared out from Easter candy that it’s not even funny. We’re all draped over pieces of furniture craving fresh fruits and veggies and some decently Spring-like days. At this point we’d all settle for a sunny day without the -30°F winds. Cripes! It’s April, already. So…

I have a problem. Every single year a couple of days before Easter I tell myself I won’t go crazy on the egg-dying. And every year I go nuts. I remember sitting at our big old trestle table when I was a kid and decorating for hours. My Mom is not a do-the-holidays-halfway…

Déjà Food Pronunciation: \ˌdā-ˌzhä-ˈfüd\ Function: noun Etymology: Yo Momma. (Actually, my step-momma… but I wanted to say that) 1. Leftovers. But with a French name, therefore, more sophisticated. Among the catalog of wonderful things my step-mother, Valerie, introduced me to when she and my father married are many now-standards for me: SOB Smoothies (‘Strawberry’, ‘Orange’, and…
